Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil lyrics

rate me

I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap,

I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope

My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender

But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender

I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer

And I'm the person to whom they say, "Your sweet, My Dear"

The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass

And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class

Prim and proper, the girl who's never been kissed

I'm tired of being pure and not chased

Like something that seeks it's level

I wanna go to the devil

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks

I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks

I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies

I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies

I want to wake up in the morning

with that dark brown taste

I want to see some dissipation in my face

I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad

But more than that I wanna be bad

I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,

Just to see my partner's face

I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel

I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool

And in the theatre

I want to change my seat

Just so I can step on

Everybody's feet

I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies

I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries

I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze

and whatever I've got I'm eager to lose

I wanna be evil, little evil me

Just as mean and evil as I can be
